THE PERFECT MAN IS HERE

This morning, while sitting at home sipping coffee and scrolling Facebook, Mr. Old Man came across a post from the Mindsets page listing 10 things a “perfect” man should have:

The post received more than 40K likes and hundreds of comments. Quite entertaining, to be honest.

One guy commented:
“I have everything… except the money in pocket.”

Another asked:
“What if I only score 5 out of 10?”

Someone else calmly pointed out:
“Who can possibly be perfect 10/10?”

Then there was a philosophical comment that actually made sense:
“If everyone could achieve the first one, the rest would be much easier to build. Some things are God-given, of course, but most people roll through life like a wandering stone, struggling just to get the first one.”

Another comment completely changed direction:
“Steve Jobs had almost everything, yet he still left this world too soon.”

And one lady left a comment that was both funny and touching:
“The woman who has a man like that is truly lucky. I once had one… but he passed away.”

Blah blah…

Reading through hundreds of comments could probably keep someone entertained all day, but Mr. Old Man decided to stop before lunchtime

Then Mr. Old Man checked himself against the list and realized he does have a few of those qualities. Looking back, his younger days were not too bad after all. Now, at retirement age, being able to go out without worrying about “breaking something and not having money to pay for it,” living happily, and sharing with others whenever possible…

Well, maybe not perfect — but probably still above average
